I am sad to admit that I just used ITA and WN doesn't show there.

And, on looking more closely, I don't think it is going to work for me. On Sunday the earliest flight arrives at TPA only 25 minutes before my UA departure. And the latest flight the night before is too early. Looks like I'm back to NK or driving. :(

I came across their mistake fare $0 a/i LGA-FLL in the big front seat last year and its not all that bad except the fact they keep the temp at 60 degrees and do not have blankets. I flew in the summer so when I got in it felt great being cold but after 30 minutes I couldnt stop shaking (my second degree sunburn didnt help though).

I'm willing to bet that CO doesn't mind keeping the capacity where it is for weight reasons on the longer Europe runs. Plus, CO needs the galleys operational so they can serve the full meals on those flights. DL and UA use the planes on domestic routes where they just load a BoB cart and don't need ovens or anything like that.

But doesn't DL use theirs on TATL routes from JFK? How do they serve the full meals on those?

They have a small galley infront of door 2L.

When the 757's first came out the rear galley was much larger so there was room for all of the equipement. The issue was the amount of standing room in the galley is the same as current configurations so it always seemed very crowded back there. The mid cabin galley solves the space problem by moving one or two FA's to the mid-cabin galley giving everyone enough room to work.

Morning Box.

My "Singapore Project" culminated 18 minutes ago. I didn't get a trip to SIN out of the deal, but I managed to avoid being in Chicago today. All is not lost.

Thank goodness for no more 4am conference calls for the foreseeable future. :-:

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) my patented usual between project lull is nowhere to be found. Onwards and upwards to the next one. :rolleyes:

Thanks fozz, I missed you on UPGRD last week, I assume you were flying?

You know, I can't even remember where I was.

I just checked, yes, I was flying back from SAN and we got an ATC delay in IAH which pushed us out by almost three hours. :(

Wow, that's a bummer. Is it a new FM carrier? There could be a bright side. And it's only a 40 minute flight.

The TATL routes use the old TW planes, i believe there are 12-14 of them in the fleet. I'm not sure how the DL/TW interiors differ though.

Agreed, especially for such a short flight. And, yes, it will be my first NK experience.

fozz beat me to the answer, but I already had clicked the multi-quote button. The TATL ones are different. They have fewer seats actually that CO does (by one) on those planes.

For their typical domestic birds the lavs at the rear appear smaller and they only have a half galley at 2R.
